Investing in education is one of the smartest things a country can do. With that in mind teachers should be paid maybe as much as MDs or even more in my opinion, but only if they are competent, if they aren't then they shouldn t get a rise in salary.
Teachers right now are mostly paid to teach useless stuff. I mean, they teach children to analyze poetry and to hate capitalism. And to demand that children know Latin. I am not saying it's not interesting to know those stuff, after all, it's enabled me to publish a few YouTube videos in Latin. However, I'd rather that I've spent that time learning more useful stuff than to speak Latin.
That's all well and good, but you're going to feel a right nitwit when the day comes that there aren't enough Poetry Analyzation Specialists to meet the demand. Fewer PAS means the price to get your poems analyzed is going to skyrocket. Even worse, it's going to be a boon to the black market in poem analyzation.
